Every year, the Champions Trophy final is played abroad at the start of the season. For the last two years, however, the Ligue de Football Professionnel has had great difficulty in finding a suitable host country. Finally, this time the match will not take place in France, as against Toulouse, but in Doha, between Monaco and Paris-Saint-Germain, still in the final. See you on January 5, 2025, on DAZN, which is broadcasting Ligue 1 this year, or in the bars of the capital!
As a reminder, the Champions Trophy is a meeting between the winner of the French Cup and the winner of the French Championship, the latter having been won for several years by the same club. No schedule has yet been announced for this match, which was almost not played. The same match in Ligue 1, originally scheduled for the same day, had to be moved to December 18, 2024.
Scheduled to take place in Beijing on August 8 to mark the 60th anniversary of Franco-Chinese diplomatic relations, the meeting was postponed without the final authorizations for the event. Although Thailand and Côte d'Ivoire had expressed an interest in hosting the event, it was Qatar that finally prevailed.
